Lyrics:

So I found an old letter
You had written years ago
You were such a different person
Than the man I’ve come to know

You were so bright-eyed and hopeful
So in love with all the world
Naive, but just a little
Enough for all the passion you would hold

And you said,

[Chorus]
“No one can be sad enough
If they really look around
And no one can be glad enough
If they really look around”
Oh, sad boy,
Oh, glad boy
Are you on your way home?

You got tired of all their silly fears
Got angry at their rules
So you set out to feel the fantasy
Touch every inch of life you could

Have you found the things
To fill your heart?
Have you found that deeper peace?
If you read this old letter
Would you laugh or would you weep?

Cause you said
[Chorus]

And everybody changes
But there are things that stay the same,
And I hope the writer of that letter
Is still out there somewhere.
